Collecting shells is so much fun! Whenever we go to a beach (and I live in Florida so we've got a nice collection), we pick up shells and then we go through and only keep the really neat ones as mementos of our day. It would be fun to see the differences between a FL shell and a CT shell.

My favorite way to spend a summer day is actually being snuggled up with the kids, beating the sweltering heat with a good movie under a tent in a the living room.

I like to listen to the neighborhood sounds as they pass by and carry over through backyards and distant streets. People walking their dogs and talking, camaraderie of children, lawnmowing, the icecream truck's monotonous jingle, birds in the early morning singing their hearts out, and the humming of the ceiling fan or a/c. It's all good.

That looks like you had a fun day! We've only just said good-bye to warm days here, but I'm rather thankful. I prefer the cold. A trip to the beach is always a very relaxing and happy event though, and I'm lucky enough to be able to visit it all year round.
